BLOODY AFFRAYS,
Consequent Upon the kentucky Election
Three Men Dead

LONDON, KY, August 3.-Yesterdav
WAS an exciting and bloody election day at
Manchester, the county sca, of Clay roun-
ty Six men are known to be dead or
dying, and several others seriously wcund-
ed. Owing To the remoteness of Munchrs-
ter from telcgraphic communication, lull
particulars OF the riot are hard TO
obtain, but from trustworthy source
it IS learned that the trouble arose
over the voting Of negro, the Demo, rats
Uhlecilng To having his vote recorded and
the Republicans taking the opposite view
1t Is claimed that the negro was not bona
Tide voter and citizen, and that in attempt
ing to exercise the right Of suffrage he was
urged on 10y h:s white Republican friends,
who promised him that no harm should
bciall him, and made determined effort
to get hlm to the place of voting despite
the protests Of Il number Of the hest citi-
zens OF Manchester.
The excitement in the meantime was
grown" more intense, and when it was
found persuasion and physical force were
uuuyaliug, resort was had to reyOIvers,
aud the fighting began in earnest.
Among those engaged in the aiiray were
Jack Hacker, Dale Little, Daugherty
White, j. G. White and others. Hacker
was shot IN the breast aud fell dead. Little
received 4 bullet in the head and was NOR
tally wounded. II was thought that he
could not survive the night
Ddugh White was shot in the left hip, re-
cciyiug dangerous and in all probability
fatal wound John G.. White was also
seriously wounded. There were three Others
who received serious wounds, but their
names could not be- learned
The town is greatly excited, and there il
a probability that other murders will occur
b.lorc the trouble is definitely settled.
Several officers were present while the
fighting WAS going on, but they seemed
powerlc>S Ia prevent u. Knives were also
freely used, ana full twenty-five men took
part in the light.

After a iiftcen-minute recess Mr. Brad
dock. for the defense, began by discussing
the importance of the issues involved and
the awful responsibilities that rested upon
the Jury. The life OF the prisoner
was in their hands. When they
left the box to consider this case they did
it with minds freighted with the response
biity OF human life. DO not think, gen
tlcmen of the jury, that this vast concourse
OF the people represent the only interest III
this trial. II is universal throughout the
country. The murder which We are to
consider was one of the most revolving OF
crimes that man could conceive. The pub
lie mind was shocked soon after the dis
coyery OF the crime by the news that the
husband and son had been arrested for the
otlenSe. The public press was ready TO
take up the cry, aud general Indignation
fell like the thunder-bolt of Joye upon the
defenseless head OF the prisoner. What
must have been the volcano OF feelings in
his breast, groaning ~ he was under the
loss he had felt.
Now we have heard a learned discussion
here. and wa led to suppose from this
speech that they ask you to convict Van
y. Baker on the facts and law uf other
cases. But caution sou not to Ice mis-
lead: there are no facts in this caee that
will warrant 4 verdict of guilty.

The Opposing Forces.

The similarity of the laws governing
what are called the operations of ma
ture, to truths applicable to and gov
erning the conduct of men, are, some
times, startling. And none more SO
than those found by studious elabor-
alton of the principles of centiipetal
and centrifugal force.
Few need to be told that it is the
combined though opposite and conflict
ing operation of these two principles,
which on the one hand prevent all
matter rushing to a common centre
there to meet with irresistible force,
and, on the other, stays the opposite
impulse of all matter toward disinte-
grafton or explosion.
And as the stability of the sphere
depends upon the equipoise of these
principles, go, also. do the affairs of
men, their contracts, their doiDgs, their
alliance and their governments, de-
pend upon principles or laws of like
nature-the attractive and repulsive,
the contractive and expansive princi-
Piles. And it is the conjoined, though
hostile, operation of these principles
which results in that compromise of
absolute individual rights which is
called government. And it is the de-
gree of force on the one side or the
other, centripetal or centrifugal, ex-
pansive or contractive, which deter
mines the shape of the compromise,
the form of the government, and which
may still later be changed one way or
the other by one or the other principle
attaining the superiority. Nothing is
better settled than that all societies
have elements conflicting, one with the
other; the one holding that govern
ment. authority, and its symbols.
agents and representatives are every
thing and the individual nothing,
